>>16006This is the House of the Young Techniks from Nu, Pogadi today, feel old yet?
>>16010I mean, you will be playing a KGB agent sent to unfuck the situation. Calling the concept anti-communist is like saying that some shooty American action movies about some evil scientist going rogue to conquer the world is anti-capitalist.
>>16011You are refering to Gastev. I am not an expert on him, but from what I heard he sounded more scary than he actually was. In practice he was just a very radical Taylorist who thought that the best way to bring about red plenty was via growing workplace productivity, which was best done in his mind by making humans as machine-like in their work as possible, in order to replicate the productive, streamlined and mass-producing machines. He was actually endorsed by Lenin at first, and arguablly only got purged because Stalin needed a bunch of scapegoats during his anti-technocrat purge in the early 30's. Although he did have some funky views like wanting to remodel Russian language by purging any flowery expressions and making it perfectly efficient and streamlined. Very high autism energy, but not really some dangerous lunatic, at least in my view. In the end someone like Jobs with his button-pressing phobia ended up being more dangerous than Gastev.
If anything, I'd say its more taking inspiration from the wacky soviet psychologists and biologists like that guy who wanted to create battle apes or Lysenko who was claiming to do genetic equivalent of alchemy.
